ELRA-L0130 NRC Emotion Lexicon – Revised version
ISLRN: 007-544-786-822-8
The NRC Emotion Lexicon was originally built by Saif M. Mohammad and Peter D. Turney through crowdsourcing. The NRC was created in order to assist with emotion analysis as other emotion lexicons were smaller at the time. After close inspection of the NRC emotion lexicon, a large number of troubling entries were identified, where words that should in most contexts be emotionally neutral, with no affect (e.g., lesbian, stone, mountain), are associated with emotional labels that are inaccurate, nonsensical, pejorative, or, at best, highly contingent and context-dependent (e.g. lesbian labeled as DISGUST and SADNESS, stone as ANGER, or mountain as ANTICIPATION). The revised NRC consists of 5,916 entries that result from the works referenced in Zad et al. (2021) “Hell Hath No Fury? Correcting Bias in the NRC Emotion Lexicon”, published at the WOAH, the 5th Workshop on Online Abuse and Harms.
